Friggin' Friday!

[kaydee0402]

Randoms and FFFC's go here! 

[kaydee0402]

My mom and sister fly in today. They should have flown in last night but their flight was cancelled because of that whole Southwest debacle. It's my niece's baptism this weekend, so three whole days of family. Normally I'd be really excited about this but after spending five days with them in Texas for my Grandmother's funeral, I kind of just want a weekend to relax. Instead, it will be go go go all weekend. Ugh!

[lastnamewithheld]

kaydee0402, ugh I HATE go go go weekends. I hope it's not as bad as you're anticipating!

TGIF. I am SOOO GLAD it's FRIDAY! Now the countdown til 5pm begins... ugh.

kaydee0402, I hope you get at least a little time to relax this weekend. I feel like my summer weekends end up jam packed too, even when I try to avoid that.

[requiressnacks]

Good morning ladies! I had anatomy scan take 2 this morning and they finally got all the measurements they needed and babies are both looking great! I am so relieved.

Also, I am irrationally annoyed with my mom because I invited her to the ultrasound and she wasn't interested in coming. I think that's super weird. My MIL was sofa king excited when I invited her, so it was nice to see her there and genuinely excited for babies.

It won't be bad, I know it will be fun.  But after doing it last weekend with all my family in Texas, I just want a weekend to sleep and catch up, lol.  I know tomorrow my sister wants to get everyone out to the beach bright and early so we can get parking, so that eliminates my plan of sleeping in!

requiressnacks, I'm sorry your mom was weird about it! But at least you made your MIL's day

I'm definitely DIL of the year.....well, I'm also her only DIL. haha.

My parents have been here since Saturday. It's mostly super helpful because they're working on the nursery, making me breakfast, etc. But there's just something about having your house back after the guests leave that is so refreshing.

[requiressnacks]

So cute, @kc295905! I hope your stomach ache goes away.

[Becca]

kaydee0402, I hear you about a weekend to relax, I hope you can at least relax a little at the beach

requiressnacks, yay! for the good measurements. Sorry your mom didn't want to go. I'm sure your MIL loved being able to go. I'm hoping to bring mine to one later on.

lola, When do your parents leave? My mom was here Sunday-Thursday and it was so exhausting.

@kc295905, that is so cute!

I spent the morning running errands and am now crashing on the couch for the rest of the day. DH has all weekend long doing inventory so I'm excited for a quiet weekend at home alone. This heat wave is killing me, so I'll likely end up at my in-laws pools most of the weekend.

[requiressnacks]

My boss's husband just had a huge box of candy and cake pops delivered to the office for her birthday. Of course she is now sharing with us. I have eaten so much crap today!

I accidentally just ruined the season finale of "Bones" for my sister...but I had to WTF with someone....they totally just opened up this huge plot bomb and then left us hanging for who knows how many months...that's not how they usually do their season finales....

I've had 2 nights of pretty rotten sleep this week. I was up all last night, first because my upper body was just sore, then DH's snoring was awful. All I want to do right now is nap but I have tree guys removing all our trees and our kitchen contractor coming at some point to finish our cabinets. DH came and brought me lunch and I was begging him to take the rest of the day off so I can nap but he's got a meeting. When does this magical second trimester energy kick in?

I'm not quite sure. I could nap at any moment these days.

[mrswillie]

+1 to weekends to relax especially when family is involved.

@cahistoryteacher I haven't had much of this magical energy. Maybe a day here or there, but mostly exhausted.

We're heading home from Sesame Place now. Two days of fun, but I'm so worn out. And DS2 needs to close his eyes and go the f to sleep before he's as miserable as he was yesterday when he wouldn't nap. And it was so hot there. Thank goodness for the kiddie pool!

[mrswillie]

Oohhh I forgot to add everything looked great on the a/s yesterday. The sono graphed wasn't able to get all the measurements so I have to go back in 2 weeks, but she wasn't worried. Yay for another u/s and hopefully baby won't be sleeping and more cooperative.

Inspired by the GTKY in the PGAL/PGAIF thread I am getting a pedicure! Hot pink toes for vacation!

I haven't watched Bones in so long! I think I'm something like a season behind!

I watched! So good! Made up for the ho hum episodes before. It was same ole same ole but yet I don't stop watching.

[littlelion]

requiressnacks & mrswillie congrats on the great scans!

My doctor is referring me to endocrinology for non-diabetic hypoglycemia. I guess waking up in the morning with blood sugars between 52-65 isn't normal. The weird part is, I always feel just fine.

[hmr11913]

requiressnacks & mrswillie, YAY for great scans!!! We also had our a/s yesterday.... baby was spine up and didn't really give us any good shots or photos, but was healthy so that's all that really mattered. We were able to stay strong with wanting to be team green! I was wondering if DH was going to change his mind or not like he did the last time at the last second but he didn't so that was good.

We also purchased a new vehicle yesterday that will be more spacious with 2 rear facing car seats... I had a 2014 Chevy Cruze (diesel... oh gas mileage, I am going to miss you) and traded it in for a 2015 Chevy Equinox! I am loving it so far!!! We looked at the Acadia/Traverse thinking that 3rd row would be nice, but there was a lot less leg room and with 2 car seats in the 2nd row it's almost impossible for anyone to get into the 3rd... plus, no trunk. SO, I guess if we have any more kids we'll need to get a van. HA!

I am going to be looking at all of those cars! I think I'll probably end up with an Equinox because I want the trunk space.

I have a 2011 Equinox and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  There aren't enough words for how much I adore this car.

Agreed. I've been really bored with the episodes lately so I was excited to finally see a good one.

[hmr11913]

requiressnacks - I think you'll def like the Equinox more! The Acadia seats are so cramped, and especially when you'll have two rear facing at the same time it's tough! G is in a convertible car seat now (RF) and they're so bulky and take up a lot more room than you think!!
